You know we have always prayed in our classes from the beginning of our academy almost 10 years ago. But what I didn’t realize is that some folks do not have a reference to how to pray, and how to use prayer effectively to energize anything you do.
I also want to say I understand that many of us have experienced trauma from our religion of birth and that we sometimes throw out the baby with the bathwater not realizing there are some beautiful mystical gems from the religion of our birth. I do get it. I was kicked out of my church, shunned and traumatized. That does not stop me from being in an empowered relationship with God using prayer to fuel and comfort my path on this earth.
Step one is adoration. It could be so simple thank you God for my wonderful life. This is setting your energy of appreciation and restoring a dynamic of awe and wonder. Read some of King David’s prayers, he really had a handle on adoration.
Step two make your requests. In this I want to encourage you to come to God as a worthy child of God, asking not like a beggar, but as little Adelia does to me, an entitled child. We don’t know the answer or when it will come, but we know we are heard and loved.
Last step appreciation. We do this in our class prayers, thank you for all the miracles that we have already experienced, for the simple act of breathing and for the people we love and who love us
End with amen, so be it, ta tastu, any of these work.
Prayer is different then meditation, and clearing. In prayer you align with the divine, you are in partnership, it is a relationship that enhances all you do and all you are.
If you haven’t listened yet to our recent community class the DNA of happiness I spoke about prayer in detail in that class, you can take that class as a home study if you would like more.
With love and blessings
